And almost not even me.

I admit that I wasn't overly enchanted by this issue either, though I think that what attracted my attention more than anything else was precisely the fact that it seemed to burn out well before it even caught fire. Frankly, as I review the entirety of this column I find myself even a bit surprised that it actually fills up an entire column - whatever that is. My associations to the topic seemed to grow on me, and at some point I realized that in this particular case the topic itself played second fiddle to the simple fact that it offered me a jumping board from which to tangent off into numerous other items that interest me. Of course that's not necessarily different from other columns, but perhaps in them I still maintain a certain semblance of attachment to the main topic.
